Fiorentina is on the verge of reaching an agreement with Genoa for the permanent transfer of Albert Gudmundsson. The deal is expected to be finalized at a lower fee than the original buy option in the loan agreement.
Fiorentina Anticipates Lower Transfer Fee for Gudmundsson
Gudmundsson spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Fiorentina from Genoa. The Viola paid €8 million for the season-long loan of the Icelandic international, with an option to make the move permanent for an additional €17 million.
Recent reports indicate that Fiorentina has decided against activating the €17 million purchase option. However, they remain interested in signing Gudmundsson permanently and are seeking a slightly reduced fee.
Negotiations are progressing, and further discussions between Fiorentina and Genoa are expected in the coming hours. It is understood that Genoa is now open to offering Fiorentina a small “discount” on Gudmundsson. The player could potentially be allowed to leave for a fee in the range of €12-13 million.
